Sir:Your attention is directed to the following extract from a report made by the Field Officer of the Day for Nov. 26th:

Would call the attention of the Col. Com'd'g [Colonel Commanding] to the Company of artillery stationed outside the Sally Port near the Grand Guard of 2' Brig., 2' Dn., C. d. A. [2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, Corps De Afrique] As I rode up in the forenoon to the officer of that Guard I told him to never mind turning out his Guard. The Officers of the Battery (One of them) made the remark--Never mind you damned nigger and several insulting remarks in reference to colored soldiers in presence of a number of privates of his command, causing quite a laughter and merriment among them.

If complaint of this kind again occurs, it will be brought to the notice of the General Commanding.
